Zero feedback. And it's in Bridgend. Feeling lucky?

Who's feeling brave? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404504953896?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rqvmp4yeqlg&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Eo11bxVmSOS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Montego?

Lovely stuff.

This thing is a superb wind up merchant, I'll give it that... It was blowing only warm from the driver's side. I got the aircon regassed. It is now blowing only cold air from the driver's side. It's getting a pair of nice midrange tyres on the front tomorrow ahead of its big day out at Twixfest on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing how it "rewards" me for my largesse.

That is one concerned looking dog...

This little beauty lives close by. Had a child's seat in the back. Is spotless and is clearly being used as family transport. Winner.

I'm really sorry for your loss and I'm even gladder that you got to be there and share her final moments with her, 100% it's what she would've wanted.

Bad decision? Where? Because all I see is the greatest decision a man could ever hope to make for himself.

What odd timing, I've just been reading about the Ledbury Maestros. Looks ace* in that red. *Relatively speaking.

I like how to get over the 106 you've basically gone for the exact opposite in every single way. Bravo.

That's what we all thought about the electrical ones!

The aircon now blows nice and cold. And as an added bonus the ABS sensor related warnings are off. The engine management light is still showing but hey, I can live with that for now. Off to the garage next week for a once over and hopefully some cheap mechanical fixes. For now, I think I'm gonna go to B&M and get a load of shit to wash it with, or maybe even Halfords to get something to sort out the scuffs on the bumpers. I adore this car, it's my favourite car I've ever owned. Even more than the 9-5 Aero or the 306 GTi.

Not that long ago when it comes to heads up displays, though. It lives! I can't wait to go for a drive again so I can use it.

You can play music through that using a red/white to 3.5mm phono cable!

Except you can't plug it in because of the shape of the surround for the cigar lighter. Sigh...

We do not have a working heads up. Bof. What mad Frenchman thought putting the aux input in the glovebox was a good design choice?

Oh that's a good point. If the heads up is sorted by this then bonus!

We have a working radio and screen. It's gonna cost £117.50, but hey. At least it works. Apparently it's likely had an aftermarket unit at some point which has then been removed and the standard unit put back in. The wiring was incomplete and a mess. I probably could have dealt with that myself but whatever, it's fixed. Hopefully tomorrow's regas gives me nice cool air!

I reckon it's gonna be another C6. The bug is extremely contagious.

The Avantime is definitely a car I would swap the C6 for...! Maybe next time we do work on the house and I need to do tip runs. The C6 is very definitely not a tip run car...

Until it goes on fire.

Does it always drop properly when opening the door..?

My HUD is also broken. 😂

Ah, the sat nav screen that's currently on the fritz? Perfect!
